Yes, I grew up in Texas but most of my life has been spent in New Mexico (and yes, we are a part of the 50!), I started programming mainframe computers in 1969. I retired in 2002. The last few years prior to retirement, I worked with ACCESS,which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have done very little with ACCESS since that time. I am now developing software for a food kitchen that I volunteer at. I look forward to the help I know I will receive here.
